The photo of the renderings is inaccurate. It is the middle pillar that will have the Block C that will light up and night like behind the scoreboard. A player (waiting to be named) will have a photo hanging out below. The school has plans to beautify the rest of the stadium but it all comes in time. It is NOT lipstick on a pig. That's an insult BIG TIME. Donate more money to fix it if you have issues with it. The school is looking at wi-fi, upgrading concessions, bathrooms, etc., but it takes time and money. If you are standing at the back of Gamecock Park or the new practice facility you will be able to see the new lit up sign from a far.

Really that entire side of the stadium is too plain. They should paint some of it Garnet and hang more banners from the top of stands and then do something at the bottom by the entrances. That is why the garnet looks out of place because it is otherwise just to plain on that side. Give me something to look at besides water-stained concrete.

It wouldn't surprise me. I feel like some people just find things to bitch about, just to hear themselves talk.

Yep, lots of people have big ideas just don't ask some of them to pay for it. That's somebody else's job. Far as I'm concerned if you're not a member of the GCC your opinion of what "We" should do means nada. If & when you're willing to pony up your cash, preach on.

About the same as me telling someone you should buy your wife or child a Ferrari. I've got a grandiose suggestion, just no skin in the game.

I buy tickets, I watch the games on tv increasing their ratings which is how they make the big bucks with TV deals. You aren't special just because you are in the GGC. It's a public school. Everyone in SC is paying for it. It's a gamecock NATION, not a game cock oligarchy.

How about his we replace the sign with a vertical video board. Tall and narrow only one of its kind. The sign could be included at the top. The only thing I can think of now would be monster player running from the back ground to the foreground, impressive? Don't hold back, ha like you would.

Yeah, that would be cool, but I am not even calling for anything expensive like that. Just a couple of coats of paint and some banners to cover up some of the uglier structural parts, because that is a quick & cheap way I can think of making the outside not ugly, so it matches all the great landscaping we have planned. I am not trying to anger any GGC members who get all the perks anyway, but this is a public school and all the fans contribute when they show up for games and ALL the fans deserve to have a stadium that looks good inside and out. We are in an SEC arms race. We're doing all this landscaping around the stadium so that tells me we aren't planning on relocating so we have to make the WB look great.

No need to start I have the right to say more than anyone else because you are in the GCC, there are people who just can't afford to donate money that GCC members can donate, the vast majority of Gamecock Nation just can't do it, but non GCC members are still subject to the ever increasing ticket prices.

So...if someone doesn't pay into the Gamecock Club their opinion is meaningless?

You have some points. There is also a struggle to bring folks in vs them watching on their 60" HD TV. Making it visually pleasing won't do it by itself, but does help. I also hope upgrading the interior, making real bathrooms, etc will help if we would do that.
